Common specs comparison

As the Ryobi RY38BP and the Echo PB-580T do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary. Both products have their throttle located on the tube of the blower, which allows you to keep your left hand free.
These two products are constructed as backpack blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their powerful engines and massive fuel tanks.
Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds.

The Ryobi RY38BP, providing a CFM of 760, outmatches the 517 CFM of the Echo PB-580T. Your leaf blowing experience will therefore be outstandingly improved with the Ryobi RY38BP, as it should be able to move considerably more leaves per minute.
The Echo PB-580T's MPH of 216 beats the 175 MPH of the Ryobi RY38BP. It therefore expels air faster and should aid you blowing leaves on grass or lifting heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

The heavier Echo PB-580T, standing at 22.7 lbs, dwarfs the 20.2 lbs of the Ryobi RY38BP, and may be more physically demanding to operate.
The Ryobi RY38BP's noise rating of 75.5 dB exceeds the 70 dB of the Echo PB-580T. Therefore, the Echo PB-580T will be easier on your (and your neighbor's) ears.

The Echo PB-580T's 62 fl.oz. fuel tank outmatches the Ryobi RY38BP's 30 fl.oz. You may fill it up with way more fuel and presumably run it longer, if both engines had the same fuel consumption.
The Ryobi RY38BP's engine displacement of 38cc is dwarfed by the 58.2cc of the Echo PB-580T. While the latter uses way more fuel per stroke, it is in turn far more powerful.
Each of these leaf blowers features a 2-cycle engine. Thus, they both require you to have an oil/fuel mix to operate.

Neither the Echo PB-580T nor the Ryobi RY38BP has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.
